Mike Golden, Director of Chestefield County's Parks and Recreation Department, points out the severe shortage of recreational facilities and the need for partnership with the community in a Sept. 12 article in the Chesterfield Observer.
Mike is coordinating with the Beth Williams Field of Dreams Foundation in the planning and design phase of our inaugural project at Evergreen.
Check out the article. It confirms that the work of "Field of Dreams" is needed in Chesterfield and literally any community that is experiencing rapid growth.

Neighbors Build Touching Tribute to Beth Williams
Matt and Terri Poole, who have been long time neighbors of the Williams Family, made a touching gesture in the form of a small park in memory of Beth Williams. The park setting, which is situated on the edge of their Walton Lake property adjacent to the Williams' property, may be familiar to many who viewed Beth's farewell video shown at her memorial service in November. This is the same spot that Beth sat as the camera rolled and she calmly, courageously, humorously, and at times tearfully said goodbye to her family, her many friends, and her extended family. Not surprisingly, even in a situation that most would not be able to do given her circumstances, she just faced the camera and had the ability to say goodbye to those she loved, showing the same amazing characteristics for which she had become all too well known during her cancer fights.
